quote, my service as attorney general of the united states under president ronald reagan and president george h.w. bush provides a solid grounding for my opinion on the interpretation of this treaty. it's absurd that i would support a treaty that would adversely impact the well being of my own son. he continues to write that america continues to be a leader on this important human rights issue. let's dig deeper and talk to jeffrey toobin. what's your reaction to what he says today in. >> first, it's important to put into political context what he's saying. hatred of the united nations is now a bedrock principle of the conservative movement in the country. so anything relating to the united states -- the united nations, even something as uncontroversy as this treaty, draws objections based on hypothetical and as far as i can tell, extremely far fetched ideas. >> he said there are many cases of u.n. treaty becoming u.s. law. u.n. treaty superseding u.s. law, becoming the law of the land. >> a, not true. as far as i am aware in any significant case. >> he cites a multitude of cases. >> i

they love to quote ronald reagan but when he says something sensible, they disassociate. he is absolutely correct. one of the things the boehner proposal does is reduces social security benefits so if you are making a billion dollars, you get your tax cut but if you are an 85-year-old social security recipient, you get a social security cut. how is that fair? >> if only they would listen to ronald reagan and raise taxes when necessary and get their grum -- grimey hands off social security, we would all be better off. congressman steve israel, you are doing a great job. thanks for coming in. all right? back at the dccc. good for you? >> thank you. >> on your radio and on current tv this is "the bill press show."

and he did it when ronald reagan was president. he did it when there was a president who had different views from his own and they worked together for the good of the country. and i look over at the house and i don't know what i see. there is a few brave voices there speaking out and saying, let's do this thing, let's extend the middle-class tax cuts. but let me tell you, we have 27 days left to do this before people start facing higher taxes. on average, $2,200 a family. and that's a lot of money for a middle-class family. now, i want to just be completely honest here and bring up an issue, which is that i never voted for the bush era tax cuts. i was one of the few minority, because i worried that it would destroy our fiscal responsibility. and i hate to say it now, i was right. i was right. there were surpluses that bill clinton left us, but because george w. bush went in front of the microphone and said, "i have political capital and i'm going to cut everybody's taxes," he then put two wars on the credit card and that was the en
